Question

Hey wave slightly smiling face Could anyone point me to some doc about the proper format expected by the `pgpKey` property of classes such `aws iam AccessKey` and `aws iam UserLoginProfile` It s really unclear what the base 64 encoded PGP public key is expected to be No matter what I try I always get this ``` Error encrypting IAM Access Key Secret error parsing given PGP key openpgp invalid data tag byte does not have MSB set``` I created my key pair using ```$ openssl genrsa out keypair pem 2048``` Then exported the public key part with ```$ openssl rsa in keypair pem pubout out publickey crt``` Then I tried to pass that public key using different variations 1 with without BEGIN END markers 2 with without new lines 3 with without over base 64 encoding the whole thing etc But no luck sweat
